Pete, This is the problem I reported (and supplied a patch for) under the title "c99 coding style...". You can fix it you self by going to the lines where the erros are reported and moving the declarations to the top of their functions. The one in interface.c (the one giving the error below) includes an initiallization that depends on the state of the fuction at line 1350, so you'll have to split it into a declartaion at the top of the function, and an assignment in the current location. The one in url.c can be solved by moving the sanity check at the top of the function below all the declarations. On Sat, 14 Aug 2004 opus@milneweb.com wrote:

The code that is giving you trouble is valid under the new (1999) standard for "c", but invalid under the old (1982? ANSI standard, and under the original K&R compiler). Versions of gcc from 3.0 on accept c99 syntax, but older versions do not. I imagine that Jorge will get around to cleaning it up sooner or later. He has fixed this kind of thing in the past.
